Troubleshooting
Q: When I try to run Protege with the run script, I get an UnsupportedClassVersionError, e.g., "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Bad version number in .class file"
A: Most likely you have an older Java version installed. Protege requires Java 7 or later. Please see the documentation above on how to check which version of Java is installed on your system.
